When I was reading the chapter about creating a family purpose statement, a quote really opened my eyes to something. She quotes Chareles E. Hummel, "stating that the greatest danger is letting the urgent things crowd out the important." This statement really summed up so much of what's been going on with my life. I've been spending so much time and energy on the tasks that are time consuming but not important. At the end of the day I feel like nothing was accomplised and my list of projects kept growing.

So I decided to set some goals for this month to focus on the things I feel our important.

Most of my goals focus on how I spend my time during the day. I've been letting too much time get wasted away because I hear the "you got mail" dinger, or because I get sidetrack when looking up something on-line. I now have a kitchen timer by my computer and in my craft room. Some steps make a big difference and if I work on things in smaller doses then I will not neglect other areas of life.

Great goals although the 30 minutes for blog reading and email might be the hardest for me. I was getting sucked in for hours so now actually turn the computer off when I am done with the business at hand and move on to other things...like actually cleaning the house @@ Good luck!
